coordinated and efficient and use what resources we do have the most efficiently we possibly can. >> the wildfire training runs threw wednesday. it was certainly toasty this weekend. let's bring jeff ranieri in. it's about to change. >> cooling winds offshore helping to moderate numbers. in case you missed it on saturday, one of our hottest was livermore at 106. gilroy at 102. and san jose 98. that of course was big news this past weekend. now that onshore flow has returned, somewhat of a fog storm across san francisco through the morning hours with temperatures in the 60s. across the bay, holding on to some more. numbers in the 70s also for the east bay. take you out live to the hd sky camera network on this monday. maybe the fog gave you a little extra boost to get out the door and get going as you headed back to work. it felt very refreshing in downtown san francisco. here is the thing. we'll get rid of the fog for a bit, and then it is going to be sliding back in. for the morning hours, we'll find the patchy fog at the immediate coastline. we'll be warmer here for tuesday. and then this cooling trend into

this upcoming weekend is going to be a stark contrast from what we experienced this past saturday and sunday. right now in the immediate, it's all about this warm tap of air sitting out in the pacific. it's not going to get nearly as hot as it was saturday, and also for sunday. the biggest thing is this is going to switch up our winds. instead of being onshore, we'll find this coming more out of the north and also the northwest. that will bring us 60s and 70s near the coastline. definitely not record setting. a little down sloping wind will provide and make for some 80s and potentially a few 90s. and here is the thing. it's not going to last long. as we head into wednesday, we'll start to get this foggy breeze returning back into the mix to help to drop our temperatures. as far as the fog guess for tuesday, those early commuters at 6:00 a.m. will find fog here across the san francisco peninsula. also the immediate coastline down to santa cruz. watch as we head throughout the day with the drying and warming north winds. it's going to clear out. smooth sailing across tupper coastline, expecting sunny skies for us. we'll begin with 49 in santa

rosa. 51 in napa. a bit of a chill into fremont with 54. 53 in los gatos and 50 in santa cruz. how about the daytime highs? we talked about our warm-up with the dryer wind. it will get up here, but it's only slightly above average with 87 in san jose. 86 in milpitas. 83 in palo alto. and also 89 in sunnyvale. for the east bay, close to 90 in blackhawk, 91 in pleasanton. 90 in dublin. close to 90 in fairfield. and for the peninsula, we'll be at 70 in san francisco. warmer over to oakland with 76. 74 in berkeley. 85 in santa rosa. and a mix of 60s here throughout our coastline. on your three-day forecast, here is what you want to focus in on. as we head through the next two days, there is our warming trend. low 90s inland. and then yes, by thursday, mid-70s. a huge drop-off in the numbers. not only the onshore flow and the fog coming back, but that cooler air aloft will just basically compound things and give us a, well, cool blast here for summer is. look at this.

summer begins on wednesday, and mother nature says oh, no, we're not going to make it hot. we're going to make it cool. that's going to continue into friday, saturday, and also sunday. so all those things that were too hot to do this past weekend, well, you can get them done this weekend. >> that's been a record all year. whenever you think you're going to get, she likes to mix it up. >> it's never normal around here, as much as people think it's the same every day. >> right. she is very spontaneous, mother nature. thanks, jeff. still to come, a professional tennis player loses it on the court. the temperhaum tt tantrha tt in an official, and now has police involved. back in a moment.

bleeding. after a long discussion, tournament officials awarded the match to nalbandian's opponent. nalbandian was fined over $12,000 and is now being investigated by police. he apologized after the match saying, quote, i feel sorry for the guy. sometimes you cannot control the moment. well, it is not every day that someone can say they ran with the olympic torch and proposed to their girlfriend the same day. david stake can, though, there he is. with his olympic torch, he put hands it to the guard and on one knee he proposes to his girlfriend, christine. she is wearing that uk outfit, very patriotic. she is also eight months pregnant. she said yes. after hearing the yes, david got a few kisses and grabbed the torch and of course continued running his part of the relay. very nice. now you can see that same flame officially start the summer olympics in just 38 days. all the action will be right here on nbc bay area, and the network of nbc. >> he should get a gold medal for that performance. well,ilestone birthday being celebrated today.

we'll tell you who, next.

sir paul mccartney, they say it's your birthday. today the former beatle turns 70, if you can believe it. >> mccartney celebrated in private today, perhaps getting some rest in between some of the biggest gigs he has lined up for the summer. earlier this month you may remember he rocked the stage at queen elizabeth's diamond jubilee concert. next month another big show in london. mccartney is the final act at the opening ceremony of the summer games. >> he makes 70 look good. wow. he is still rocking. >> hard to believe. >> let's get a check of our forecast. >> well, believe it or not. >> final forecast. >> we have some 70s coming our way in the seven-day forecast after 90s and triple-digits this past weekend. it will stay more on the hot side tuesday and wednesday.

and then as we head throughout thursday and friday, not only the fog coming back, but also some cooler air aloft will stay dry, but even into the upcoming weekend, temperatures are expected to stay in the 70s inland, and a cool breeze at the coastline with plenty of 60s. so if you i don't like the hot weather the next two days for you, if you want spring back, well, most of the seven-day forecast is going to be enjoyable. >> jeff, a serious meteorological question, which i rarely ask. my questions are usually silly. we've had such a strange pattern, where every time we enter a season it seems reversed. there an answer for that? >> we've been tuck stuck in the la nina pattern for quite some time. that's starting to weaken. possibly better news for the summer, but it also could mean a return to hot weather. because we've had two cool summers. >> right. >> the past two summers. >> yes we have. >> kind of moderates itself overall. >> we'll see what happens. thanks, jeff. >> sure. >> and thank you so much for joining us. we hope to see you back here at 6:00. bye-bye.
